Hi Guys and Gals,   
Love this forum.. SO MUCH information to take in about these great bikes.  I started out by riding a 83 Honda Shadow VT500 that me and my buddy did a complete strip to frame restoration on and had a blast with it!!!  Moved up to a Seca for about 2 years.     
Been off a bike now for 3 years but really want to ride again this year.   
I found a 84 Venture Royale for sale.  Buddy said that it needed brakes and a battery...  He said 2nd was replaced already...   
What I would like to know is what else should I be looking for when I go see the bike this weekend?   
I hope to pick it up if it's in good enough shape.  I'm a big boy so this would be a nice bike to cruise around with.   
Thanks everyone!!!
